But the question that does require an answer is one clearly aimed at the Press Complaints Commission.

Should The Sun have reported the story in the first place? Given issues surrounding reporting of children (as spelt out, for example, in clause six of the editors' code of practice), privacy concerns, and the fact it was not sure the boy was the real father.

So let me add some questions of my own. Is this not a case in which the PCC should have been pro-active? Then again, perhaps it was - behind the scenes.

If so, the commission should still speak up in order to prevent a repetition of a very sad, sordid and false story that had the potential to start a moral panic.

And finally, why is The Sun still running a video that projects a falsehood?
